Select Value of List of KeyValuePair

Question

How can i select the value from the List of keyvaluepair based on checking the key value

List> myList = new         


        

Answer 1

If you're stuck with the List, you can use

myList.First(kvp => kvp.Key == 5).Value

Or if you want to use a dictionary (which might suit your needs better than the list as stated in the other answers) you convert your list to a dictionary easily:

var dictionary = myList.ToDictionary(kvp => kvp.Key);
var value = dictionary[5].Value;
